I AM HAVING TUNING PROBS WITH MY SERIES 1 GTST. I WOULD LIKE TO SWAP OUT SOME PARTS TO ISOLATE THIS VERY ANOYING ISSUE MY MECHANIC CAN'T WORK OUT($900 LATER). I NEED A S1 AFM, A SET OF COIL PACKS AND AN IGNITER TO TEST WITH FOR 10 MINS. I INVISAGE DRIVING TO YOURS, SWAPPING THE BITS GOING AROUND THE BLOCK AND THEN GIVING YOU HEART FELTS THANKS AND PROBABLY SOME DOLLARS/SLABS OR IF INTERESTED A WEEK OLD UAS COLD AIR INTAKE AND O2 RUSH RACE POD. BIT OF A LONG SHOT BUT I'M SURE SOME POOR BASTARD HAS BEEN IN THIS POSITION BEFORE.

THANKS GUYS

yeah if you post your problem we could give you an idea.

but first thing to check is your plug gap if your runnig over 8 psi this should be sewt to .8 mm not the default 1.1 mm.

if the idle is bad and inconsistent ie going from 1000 rpm to 2000 rpm then your afm could be the culprit.

also the coil packs and the the ignition apmlifier if the car is running rough. the crank angel sensor could be the problem if yua re loosing power over a certain boost. factory timing should be @ 15o .

nex t I would be looking for a mechanic how knows skylines cause this guy obviously doesn't .

last one is to check the cooler piping is ok.

All pipes/intercooler pressure checked , correct heat range (7)and gapped plugs, reset ecu, Manifolds checked and tightneed, turbo removed and checked. Dynoed and mixtures seem solid at 11%(S-AFC installed and waiting for tweaking). When its warm(weather wise) it will pull through the rev range smoooth and hard in all gears, when its cold(weather wise), starts missing as it pulls higher boost even in second(high boost means 10psi in my case, no where near factory cut off). AND, fuel pressure tested under load OK and boost gauge tested as well?????? I tell ya it annoying but at least I know whats NOT wrong with the buggar!!!:D

I Have the SAME Problem as this... Cold = Miss, Hot = Fine!

I Tried a BOOST Controller and its WAY Worse (even at stock boost levels) !!! I thought it might be the Ignition module not being able to handle the extra boost from cooler air???

I currently have .75mm gap which makes it drivable... but, on a 20deg day it misses under 60% > 100% Throttle (around 4500 RPM+)... on a 25+ day it does not miss a beat...

the_tonkau: if you manage to fix this PlEaSe! let me know what it was as I am in a simular position... no parts to swap... no mechanic who knows.... etc etc...

Could be a lot of things and maybe a combination of two issues but my fix was(after lots of piss farting around, a faulty ignition module that was breaking down at higher boost! Dr Drift at BMT Motorsport (www.bmtmotorsports.com.au) found the problem!

Good luck

Nightman,

The funny 'the_tonkau' used our last igniter module, but I still have a spare AFM, CAS, coil packs, etc if you want to try and find the problem...

The most common mis-fire problem I've seen is plugs, follwed by coil packs, follwed by CAS, followed by igniter module...

Doc.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
